Master Mix and Monitor System
The XONE:92 provides two stereo main mix outputs with independent level control on
balanced XLR and jack connections to drive the house PA amplifier system or additional
zone feeds. You can make a music only recording by connecting to the independent
record output. Full DJ monitoring facilities are available with independent headphones
and booth monitors, together with stereo metering system. Every music channel signal
can be checked individually or within any mix, ideal for system setup and performance
cueing. Facilities such as Mono and Split-Cue switching are well suited to the way the
professional DJ works.
1 MIX MASTERS. Two rotary master controls
adjust the output levels feeding the house PA.
These are stereo controls which adjust the left and
right signals simultaneously. They affect the stereo
mix. Note that they do not affect the record and
booth outputs. The MIX 1 maximum position
represents unity (0dB) gain. The MIX 2 maximum
position represents -2dB gain. If you find yourself
normally setting the controls in the lower part of their
travel then the connected equipment may be too
sensitive for the operating level of the console. With
the controls set to their maximum positions adjust
the input level trim of connected equipment for the
loudest level allowed.
In a club or similar installation strict sound
level and noise regulations may apply. Check
that your system levels are set up to comply.
2 MIX / MONITOR METERS. A pair of meter bars
displays the level of the selected headphones
monitor source. This is either the main LR mix, an
Aux mix or Cue. When SPLIT CUE is selected the
left meter displays the active CUE signal, the right
displays PRG (program), both in mono.
Each meter has 9 leds to indicate signal levels from
a low –20dB. Green and blue leds indicate normal
operating levels. The top red led lights at +10dB
still providing a healthy 12dB before clipping. Meter
‘0’ represents 0dBu at the MIX 1 XLR outputs and -
2dBu at the MIX 2 LINE outputs. The meters are
peak responding with a fast attack and are therefore
able to display fast transients accurately.
3 CUE ACTIVE indicator. A large red led lights
when a channel CUE is active. This indicates that
the selected channel CUE signal is heard in the
headphones and displayed on the monitor meters.
It is important to use CUE to set the channel levels
correctly to maintain the wide dynamic range
achievable with this console. Reduce the gain if the
red +10 leds flash.
